(Order Code EZ-LINK)
Vernier EasyLink is a single channel interface that plugs into the USB port of the
TI-84 Plus, TI-84 Plus Silver Edition, TI-Nspire, or TI-Nspire CAS calculator.
Vernier EasyLink’s flexibility and ease of use make it perfect for a variety of
activities in science and math. It supports over 45 analog sensors, including Gas
Pressure, pH, and Dual-Range Force, among others.
Using the Vernier EasyLink with TI-84 Plus and TI-84 Plus Silver
Edition Graphing Calculators
Follow this general procedure when using Vernier EasyLink with the TI-84 Plus
family of calculators.
1. Confirm that the EasyData
®
application is installed on the calculator. Do that by
pressing the
button and scrolling through the alphabetical list of
applications. When you know that EasyData is there, press
[QUIT] to
return to the home screen. If EasyData is not installed, see below.
2. Connect one of the compatible sensors (listed in the chart) to Vernier EasyLink.
3. Connect Vernier EasyLink to the USB port on the calculator. The calculator will
automatically launch EasyData and detect the sensor.
4. You are now ready to collect data.
Data collection with Vernier EasyLink and the EasyData application is simple, yet
powerful. EasyData supports numerous data-collection modes, and EasyData version
2.0 or newer has built-in analysis tools, such as linear regression, and statistical
analysis. For more information about EasyData, visit our web site at
www.vernier.com/easydata
Obtaining EasyData
If EasyData is not installed on your TI-84 Plus calculator, you will need to install the
application onto your calculator. EasyData can be downloaded free from our web
site (www.vernier.com/easydata). Download the application to your computer and
then use a
TI-Connectivity™
cable and TI Connect™ software to send the application
from the computer to the calculator. Your calculator will also need operating system
version 2.30 or newer. If necessary, download the operating system from the TI web
site (education.ti.com) and install it on your calculator.
Using Vernier EasyLink with TI-Nspire and TI-Nspire CAS
Handhelds
1. Confirm that you are running TI-Nspire software version 3.0 or newer.
2. Connect one of the compatible sensors (listed in the chart) to Vernier EasyLink.

3. Turn on the handheld and connect Vernier EasyLink to the USB port on the
handheld. The handheld will launch the DataQuest
™
application automatically.
See your TI-Nspire documentation for additional information on collecting
sensor data using TI-Nspire.
